Dunno if anyone already said this, but I encountered the following today:

I'm dummy, partner is playing and suddenly disconnects. Now we're all waiting for him to come back (his seat is reserved), but while we sit there, funny LHO claims all the tricks and gets them while they don't deserve another trick!!!

This bug can be exploited like hell and can lead to very weird results...

[inquiry]

I have seen table host boot both opponents and then claim tricks not deserved. I wasn't playing of course, but was called by the "booted players". Some people are just too weird for words.

Off-topic: while the TD was disconnected and the clock was -4 (my partner had been sleeping for five minutes) I claimed (as a defender) 13 tricks with the text "please reject so that you can see the hand". After having seen the hand he claimed ten tricks, I rejected and claimed 8 for him, he rejected and claimed 9, I rejected. After some more thought I realized that hes 9 tricks claim was probably correct so I claimed 9 for him and at clock -7 or so we could proceed to the next round.

I have met with this new (for me )kind of rudeness twice in the short period of time. In one case, the host of the table recognize after the lead that I would make a 3nt contract he doubled, and booted me immediately without one word. Later I saw in my hands this contract "went down".

While kibitzing a friend at a tourney, witnessed the td booting the opps in a vul 3nt x-4, and later on adjusting the score... as it says in car bumpers "it happens"
